Antonio José Cordero Campillo, a promising young Spanish winger, has been confirmed to join Westerlo on a one-season dry loan from Newcastle United. At just 18 years old, Cordero is seen as a promising prospect. He began his football career in various Spanish youth academies and found stability in 2021 at Malaga, where he emerged as a key player in the Segunda División. Last season, he was one of the standout performers for the Andalusian club, making 39 appearances and contributing with 6 goals and 7 assists, demonstrating his talent and maturity despite his youth. Following his contract with Malaga, he signed a five-year deal with Newcastle United in the Premier League. The English club decided to loan him to Belgium's Westerlo to support his development, as the Belgian league is renowned for nurturing young talents. Cordero is set to play for Westerlo throughout the 2025/2026 season, where he will be available to enhance the team's options on the offensive flanks. Westerlo, a club known for its focus on young international talents, offers an ideal environment for Cordero's growth.
